Force & Flex Sensors

SKU: SF-SEN-14727 | Brand: SparkFun

This miniature straight bar load cell (sometimes called a strain gauge) can translate up to 100g of pressure (force) into an electrical signal. Each load cell is able to measure the electrical resistance that cha...

SKU: AF-4543 | Brand: Adafruit

A 20 kg strain gauge load cell with four wires, featuring a metallic foil gauge bonded with epoxy to a solid aluminium bar. The aluminium constrains deflection and protects the gauge from damage. Mount one end to a fi...

SKU: DF-SEN0297 | Brand: DFRobot

The RP-C7.6-ST is a circular flexible thin-film pressure sensor with a compact 7.6 mm active area and ultra-thin 0.3 mm profile. It converts applied force into a variable resistance — output resistance decreases as pr...

SKU: DF-SEN0295 | Brand: DFRobot

The RP-C18.3-LT is a circular flexible thin-film pressure sensor, 18.3mm in diameter, designed for highly sensitive detection of both static and dynamic force. When pressure is applied to the active area, resistance d...

SKU: SF-BOB-13878 | Brand: SparkFun

The SparkFun Load Sensor Combinator is a bare PCB that combines four load sensors into a standard four-wire Wheatstone bridge configuration. If you open up an electronic bathroom scale, you’ll find a large rat’s ne...

SKU: AF-166 | Brand: Adafruit

The Interlink 402 is a round force-sensitive resistor (FSR) with a 12.7 mm (0.5″) sensing area. It changes resistance based on applied pressure — the harder you press, the lower the resistance — making it a simple, lo...

SKU: DF-SEN0296 | Brand: DFRobot

This is a square flexible thin film pressure sensor of short legs with a side length of 40mm, which can be used to realize highly sensitive detection of pressure. The sensor is durable and designed to sense static and...

SKU: DF-SEN0293 | Brand: DFRobot

The RP-L-170 is a long, flexible thin-film pressure sensor with a 170mm active area for detecting both static and dynamic pressure. As pressure is applied, the sensor's resistance decreases — making it easy to read wi...

SKU: AF-4541 | Brand: Adafruit

A strain gauge is a type of electronic sensor used to measure force or strain (big surprise there). They are made of an insulating flexible backing with a metallic foil pattern. The resistance of a strain gauge change...

SKU: DF-SEN0294 | Brand: DFRobot

This is a circular flexible thin film pressure sensor of short legs with a diameter of 18.3mm, which can be used to realize highly sensitive detection of pressure. The sensor is durable and designed to sense static an...

SKU: AF-4542 | Brand: Adafruit

A 10 kg strain gauge load cell for measuring force, weight, and tension. The strain gauge is epoxy-bonded to a robust aluminium bar that protects the delicate foil element and constrains deflection to a safe range. As...

SKU: DF-SEN0298 | Brand: DFRobot

This is a circular flexible thin film pressure sensor of long legs with a diameter of 7.6mm, which can be used to realize highly sensitive detection of pressure. The sensor is durable and designed to sense static and ...

SKU: DF-SEN0299 | Brand: DFRobot

The RP-L-400 is a long, flexible thin-film pressure sensor with a 400 mm active length. It detects both static and dynamic pressure by converting applied force into a variable resistance — resistance decreases as pres...

SKU: AF-4540 | Brand: Adafruit

A strain gauge is a type of electronic sensor used to measure force or strain (big surprise there). They are made of an insulating flexible backing with a metallic foil pattern. The resistance of a strain gauge change...

SKU: SF-SEN-14728 | Brand: SparkFun

This miniature straight bar load cell (sometimes called a strain gauge) can translate up to 500g of pressure (force) into an electrical signal. Each load cell is able to measure the electrical resistance that cha...

SKU: SF-SEN-11207 | Brand: SparkFun

This is a piezoresistive force sensor from Tekscan. The harder you press, the lower the sensor’s resistance. Pressing hard, the resistance changes from infinite to ~50k. The sensor itself is thin and flexible, but the...
